New Fire Fox Stinks!

Q:New Fire Fox Stinks!

Got the new FF update last night, what a bummer!!! Many book marks disappeared, the look and feel has changed much to my dislike. I wonder if I can revert to the last version? Is anyone else not happy???

I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.

My Firefox v56 updated yesterday to v57. My 'add-ons',the ones that i deem important ie. Ad-blocker & Privacy Badger were still there,so on that count everything was ok.However,regarding the hoped for increase in broswer speed - it simply hasn't materialised !. It's as slow as v56,which was never that bad that i lost sleep over it.

All my bookmarks are still in place,& the only thing that seems to have changed is the Homepage appearance. All in all,a waste of time - at the moment. I'll await further updates in the hope that eventually Firefox v57 will live up to the months of 'hype'

I had 'Auto update' turned on & it didn't update on the 14th. I turned auto UD 'off' & then had to turn it back on again for v57 to install,which it did within seconds.

I suppose to give Mozilla the benefit of the doubt - this is a brand new version,'relatively' untried except for the Beta version,so we should expect a few glitches. However,since most of the hype was about 'speed' - i'd have expected that to be there from the first second it went live - it wasn't. Just something else that's been 'improved worse' !!!. (At the moment)

My computer has caught of fire.If i ever push my screen back it will over heat and start a fire on the lower left side of the screen.Currently it is only giving me a white screen and sounds like it is working normally but i just can't see anything.I tried to resent it, take out the battery, and keyboard smashed it. It gave me an only white scree in the past and cleared up after a few hours but now it's not working.I tried to put another monitor in it and it didn't work. Hope I'm not the only one with this problem.

A:Fire and white.My computer has caught of fire. If i ever push my screen back it will

If your computer is catching fire, I would turn it off, remove the battery and unplug it. Take it to a qualified technician. It sounds as if your video cable is shorting out.

Ok I just come to realize that my 2 wire modem (att yahoo internet) has a built in fire wall. Then i have Mcafee total protection on my computer and that has a firewall, then theres the windows standard fire wall. So Do I keep All 3 On. What do i turn off, whats better, whats not. and Microsoft yells at me if i turn the windows fire wall off....

thanks for all your helpian

A:Fire Wall Question? Do I Really Need 3 Fire Walls Running At The Same Time

I am not familiar with your specific modem, but as it is external to your computer it will not adversely affect the system. It is likely a firmware or hardware firewall. This is a good thing, and provides an additional layer of protection. Usually a third party firewall turns off the native Windows firewall by default. Zone Alarm, for example. I am suprised that McAffee does not. It is not necessary to have both on, and since McAfee is 2-way (Program alerts) I suggest that you use it. Windows can be told to stop "bothering" you about the firewall situation. Security Center is found in the Control Panel. Once open, notice the words "Change the way Security Center alerts me" on the left. After clicking there, a dialog will open in which you can arrange the alerts to your preferences.

Not sure if I'm writing for help in the correct category. Please let me know if I'm in the wrong place. I would also like to add that I am completely pc illiterate.

I recently lost my web cam connection. I've installed & reinstalled everything several times with no avail. I've even done a system recovery (boy was I was sweating when I did that) Thought that was the end of my pc! My friend is on a Mac notebook and is using aim 4.7 whom I am trying to connect with and I'm on a pc, (windows xp) Our connection (when we were able to connet a while back) was always very lousy but at least we were able to connect somewhat. We are both stay at home moms and we both really miss our web cam connection. I've tried to connect via aol, aim, aim 6.0 and aim pro which all did not work. I've called Labtec (web cam people) and they told me to call aol. I've called aol and they told me to call Labtec.

Hard drive froze last week, new drive, Windows 7 won't let me install IE8, only IE9. Really hate IE9 (tried the Beta when it came out). Just moved and all documents are 400 miles away. Would really like to download IE8. Not that computer literate. Thanks in advance.

A:IE 9 Stinks, can't get IE 8 to download.

IE8 is the default browser in Windows 7, just uninstall IE9 and then you have IE8.

I have an Epson Stylus c80 inkjet printer that has never given me a good color print job. Mostly I always get those vertical bands and lines running through. I know that's probably a common thing, but I've tried every utility to solve it - the head cleaning, nozzle cleaning, etc. Nothing works. This has gone on since the day I brought it home, about 2 yrs ago. I only use Epson cartridges. I've contacted Epson..they just tell me to use Epson cartridges..I tell them I DO!..they just repeat themselves..so no help there.

I researched printers pretty thoroughly and thought I was getting a great printer. Now I don't trust myself! Any recommendations for a printer that does a good, reliable color printing? I've hung in with this disaster as long as I can.

I'm NOT doing any high-quality photo-type printing at all - - I'm just talking about printing quick, small things like jewel case covers, or things I do in Paint, or small pictures from the internet. The color itself is okay, but it's the bands and lines running vertically through them that are always present and I cannot solve. That's what I want to avoid in a new printer.

Hi All,I booted my pc and found that my home page had been changed to some kinda website called protect advanced cleaner. I downloaded some antivirus softwares and it removed some stuff and put my homepage back to msn.com but it's still grayed out and i can't change stuff cause it's telling me that i have to have administration priviledges to do that even though i am the administrator. Can someone look at my hijack log and see you can help me?I have a 13 year old daughter that uses my pc too and i would really hate for her to see some of the stuff pop up that i saw this morning. Oh and by the way, since i ran the anti virus programs and my homepage reappeared, every time i open IE i get the message that IE has encountered a problem and needs to close.

My C: drive does not have enough room, so i tell it to install to a different drive, even after selecting one that DOES have enough space, it won't continue because it's STILL claiming the C: is the problem.

I have an Inspiron 1000. It originally had XP on it, but stupid me wanted the most updated OS so guess what I went and did?? That's right! I put vista on my lappy and now it just plain stinks!

I have tried reinstalling with cd and it doesn't give me the option to install(appears vista is alot harder to get rid of-kinda like the flu!) Can anyone give me instructions on how to do this?

I am using DirectCD 3.01C, on a PentiumII, 450 Mhz, Gateway PC with 256Mb RAM, and using a HP 9100 CD Burner. My Norton AV is updated weekly, so I know I don't have a virus.

I reformatted about a month ago because of this same problem. [you can look up my past letter on TSG] It was suggested I reformat the C: drive by a PC tech at a computer store after he played with my PC for a couple days, charged me $213, and didn't do a thing for me.

After I reformatted and reinstalled Adaptec DirectCD, I could copy small files and photographs neatly to a CD-RW and I could copy full CDs to CD-Rs with no problems. (I could alway copy full CDs with CloneCd without any problems.) Single file copying worked fine up until about yesterday, then I started getting the same problem ~ Adaptec DirectCD would not recognize an already formatted CD-RW with files on it. If it did recognize it, it would take a very, very long time to try to copy those few little files [10 to 300 kb long] and then it would quit with the standard error [it has become standard to me, I see it so much] "...this CD has an unrecoverable read/write error, you should move all your files off this disk, blah, blah, blah..."

Any suggestions or ideas out there? Am I one of the few [or many] that is beginning to think that this technology or the software is still in it's infancy and is not a really good way to backup or do I need another softw... Read more

Last week i brought my 2.5 yrs old T440 to Lenovo Bugis suppt center to replace a cracked LCD back cover (one fine day i noticed a crack along the righthand side hinge and after opening, the cover was hard to close & open!). I had a queue tkt that said waiting tme approx 5 mins, but it took 20 mins for the front desk asst to call me. He rightly said the warranty had expired and they need to charge me $50 (+gst) to assess how much it would cost to fix it. When i asked what they want to assess as the laptop was working fine, he said in that case i should pay $30 - to source for the broken part and only after that they can tell how much would the total repair cost be! To me, it didn't make sense as they are the 'makers', but the guy started explaining the parts are made by 3rd party suppliers and and that's the process they hv to follow for 'older' models! Then another colleague of him came to explain, but he also couldn't tell me the rational for not able to tell me upfront the charge for replacing a 'highly visible' broken part! They are cheats in my opinion!! I have been a ThinkPad user for nearly 20 years and never experienced such poor quality machines and bad service!!! Hell with Lenovo.

A:Lenovo Singapore Support stinks

since your machine is already out of warranty, source it online for 3rd party and get it done. Im having hell with my Lenovo too.

I can't open a installasion, it closes change or remove programs, it closes most of the stuff!! Even it's own settings!!! So I'm asking if I can delete the DEP. Can I?

A:Data Execution Prevention Stinks

First make sure you are installing known good software (not something questionable).

You can disable DEP for the software you are installing by going to System Properties > Advanced tab > Performance settings button > Data Execution Prevention tab > tick the button for Turn on DEP for all programs and services except for those I select. Then Add the program you are having trouble with.

You can also completely disable DEP for all programs by editing the boot.ini file (C:\boot.ini) by changing /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN to /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF. You must reboot for the change to take effect.

As online gaming grows in popularity ESET researchers found that cybersecurity measures haven't kept pace as 36 percent gamers reported actively turning off security software if they found it was slowing down their computer.

The study, conducted by Google Consumer Surveys, polled 500 gamers and found that 52 percent of respondents said they don't even use security software on their gaming computers, according to a Sept. 13 blog post.

Gamers stated numerous reasons for their lack cybersecurity hygiene with 20 percent saying they don't need it, 13 percent saying they don't like they pop ups, 12 percent saying it slowed down their computers, and eight percent saying that it interrupts their gaming experience.

Researchers warn whenever security settings are disabled, users run the risk of malware stealing their login credentials and using gaming accounts for malicious activity which could lead to the legitimate user getting banned from the gaming platform for someone else's actions.

The stolen accounts could be used for botting, item farming, and other activities without the account owner's knowledge.

A:fire fox, who has it?

I have some thoughts...what is it that you think FF will give you that you don't have with IE?Just curious (I've never once thought that a browser was important enough to go "shopping" for one, even back in the old days Mosaic, Netscape, et alia).I use IE because it seems to do the job and I don't expect more than that out of a browser...but others will disagree with my simplistic approach.You might be interested in this link (which won't answer your query, but might be interesting): http://www.livinginternet.com/w/wi_browse.htmLouis

Sucks for 7.. Or i am doing something wrong, maybe its just that it is in beta.

Firefox does not save passwords, does not even give me an option. I can not clear/modify cache settings. Accessing my school website i constantly have to DL a certificate that it wont remember. The one password it allowed me to remember (facebook) it forgot, at least it was facebook it forgot.

So whats the problem here. Is it that it is in beta or what i dont know. It is just a basic butt end browser atm, i have not seen any info as to why its like this ( just its a beta). I did not think it being in beta would make it so.. useless

You might try posting this at the Firefox forums. That way the people that work on Firefox could get a look at it. Not that someone here couldn't help you, but that it might get an answer quicker over there.

Hey, I just installed new ram and a gtx 670 and I went to see how temps were 5 minutes of installing drivrs.! Not evn gaming and my giant cpu cooler is scorching hot.! its barely been warm with my old card, I know something is not normal.. I think it might be the ram its I think 1800 apose from my old 1333. Would that cause overheating problems?. going to try the old ram in the am...

thx people!

A:My CPU is on fire...

Hello Chris,First, post your exact temps as reported, and the software used to measure them (assuming you didn't stick you finger into the heatsink fins). Generally, modern GPUs run quite a bit hotter than CPUs, so I wouldn't be surprised. The RAM shouldn't make a drastic change in temps, whether DDR1 or DDR3.

A:FTP with Fox Fire

By default firefox tries to log you in as anonymous. TO have it prompt for a password you can use this format:ftp://[email protected] will then use the username given and prompt for the password

I think Yahoo is passing the buck but will try anyway. I have MyYahoo for one of my home pages on Firefox......or at least I did. Now I get a sign up page and when I put my ID and password in it takes me back to the same sign up page. I had my calendar with my medical appts among other things on that page and it really is an aggravation. When I bring up My Yahoo in Internet Explorer it works fine. I don't want to use IExplorer..........I like Foxfire and want to use it. Can someone give me any ideas on this???

hi, i run win 7 prem 64. do i run/turn on ( NOT SCAN )kaspersky pure AND win fire wall, and win defender, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free or full paid version .all at once ?? ta ..

A:which a v do i use and do i use win fire ?

If you use kaspersky pure, you do not need to have win firewall on. Kaspersky Pure is an AIO(All In One) solution. An internet security suite plus some disk management utilities. Also you can either use the free or PRO version of malwarebyes. Its designed to run along side a traditional AV. So there will be no conflict there.

My brother just gave me his old workstation video card which is a ATI Fire GL. I installed it, and went to ATI and got the current drivers for XP. It works great, and is very quick compared to my old 32 mb card. The problem is that when I look under the display tab in my controls, it says the card is 64 mb, however if you followed that link you know that the fire gl 8800 is a 128. Any reason why this would be happening?

A:ATI Fire GL....misleading

And is it also an 8800 or a different FireGL card? I believe the 8800 does only come with 128MB of RAM but other cards have varying memory sizes. Also its possible to mod a Radeon card into a FireGL card and maybe that was done, in which case the card is actually a 8500.
